Pre Match Warm Up

[Tamesaint]

I got to the ground well before kick off. This is unusual for me so for the first time for a long time I saw the pre match warm up.

 

Our lads came out before City and proceeded to do a 10 minute pilates style warm up. They all had their individual mats and went through a very thorough routine. Is this customary? I have never seen a warm up like this before. Walsall away was the last warm up that I saw and there were no pilates mats then.

 

I do believe in the benefits of this sort of exercise and must admit that I was impressed.

Never seen this type of warm up before either Home or Away. Perhaps the Physio has been on a course.

We've been using them all season.

Not used at Home games maybe done inside before coming out for rest of warm up

My pre match warm up (as a spectator not player !!) normally involves about 4 pints of Bitter down the pub.

Years ago I played in a Sunday league and we had a late kick off in which our goalkeeper did exactly that. The results were quite amusing !

Pre match warm ups haven't interested me since the days of Matt Le Tiss going in goal and the players hitting the ball into the top of the Milton terrace.
